Hello Forum-Users, I hope you're able to help me. I'd like to use ModelCHECK for checking assemblies. It is required that weak dimensions will be found by ModelCHECK because these dimensions are not allowed. I know that weak dimensions can be shown with >Tools >Program... >Show Design >From Model >Edit >Search... >[wirte: weak] >Search. But the aim is to check assemblies automatically with ModelCHECK. What can I do to realize my requirement? Thanks for your advise! Eric

On June 30 2011, I enquired about this with PTC support, I too wanted to check for this as a way to ensure quality work from our design department. Here is their response:

"Description: Customer needs to find weak dimensions in a part using Modelcheck in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0.

It is not possible to find weak dimensions in a part using Modelcheck as per current functionality of Creo Direct 1.0.

To see this functionality in future releases of Creo Direct, file an enhancement request at

https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/misc/PTC_Enhancement_Process.jsp."

Any idea if it is now possible to check for weak dimensions using ModelCHECK? Creo 2...maybe?

Thanks, Rich

This feature will be very useful, both in Creo 2 and Creo 3.
